A flavorful and satisfying Greek Chicken Flatbread recipe featuring marinated chicken, fresh vegetables, and a creamy yogurt sauce, perfect for weeknight dinners or casual entertaining.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 large flatbreads or naan (about 810 inches each)
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (optional, for yogurt sauce)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced (optional, for yogurt sauce)
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/4 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and halved
  • 1/4 cup chopped red onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped cucumber
  • 1/4 cup chopped cherry tomatoes
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. 1. Marinate the Chicken: In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Add the chicken breasts or thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours.
  2. 2. Cook the Chicken: Grill, pan-sear, or bake the chicken until cooked through. Let it rest, then dice or shred it.
  3. 3. Prepare the Yogurt Sauce: In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt with chopped fresh dill and minced garlic, if using. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. 4. Warm the Flatbreads: Lightly brush flatbreads with olive oil and warm them in a skillet or oven until pliable.
  5. 5. Assemble the Flatbreads: Spread yogurt sauce on each flatbread, top with chicken, feta cheese, olives, red onion, cucumber, and cherry tomatoes.
  6. 6. Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.

Notes

Store any leftover assembled flatbreads in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes.
